Pope John Paul >> Boy what a disappointment that Catholics are going to beatify someone who turns his back on child molestation. Surely the church had to take that into consideration. Does anybody know why they went ahead and canonized him?

Immigration >> The county commissioners don't want the sheriff's department to search for the undocumented because the immigration laws stipulates the Border Patrol is the law enforcement agency. We have fewer sheriffs and they're already spread thin, underpaid and overworked!

Immigration >> I think the people should vote and decide for themselves which laws the police don't enforce. Each jurisdiction can have an every two year vote. I personally, "no more speeding tickets!"

Politics >> Radicals like the PVA always complain about the Koch Brothers but conveniently ignore the over $50 million George Soros is contributed in the last 15 years to news media and media schools, radical candidates, gun control and elimination of the Electoral College.

LCPD >> I have noticed a number of Las Cruces Police Department cars with an illegal window tints. Why are they allowed to use a darker tint that is illegal?

Spring winds >> I'm reading Sunday's paper here on air quality. In the weather, air quality for Las Cruces is forecast as good. How can it possibly be good with all this sand and stuff blowing around in the air?

Spaceport >> How many passengers will fly at a time on the spaceship? How many days will lapse between flights and when folks fly into El Paso, drive up here, shoot up, come down in 30 minutes, how long do we expect them to stay around? What else is there here for the rich cats to do?

Shade >> I don't want the trees at Mesilla Valley Mall to get larger because then they will attract birds. Bird droppings on cars are not only unsightly but could damage the paint.

Gov. Martinez >> It's great that people are outraged about what the LA Clipper's owner said. Yet here in New Mexico nobody seems to care when Susana Martinez and her gang of crony men say horrible things about people and abuse their state credit cards. When will people wake up and demand accountability?

Same sex marriage >> I was just viewing Eric Metaxas on TV and he is right. There is no religious freedom in America when the government shoves same sex marriage down our throats.

Fracking >> I hope that all those people that are responsible for fracking on earth won't be able to catch the ship out to the new planet when this earth starts to inundate.

Pardons >> The guidelines for President Obama for early release from federal prison requires they be convicted of nonviolent, low-level crimes with no ties to gangs, served 10 years on good behavior. Out of 200,000 prisoners, only a few thousand might qualify. So conservatives, quit going ballistic. After all, one out of every 100 American adults is currently in prison. The world's largest prison population.

School lunches >> How many of those kids that haven't paid their lunch bills carry cell phones? And how many of those kids' parent or parents are covered in tattoos or body piercings?

Deputy charged >> To the individual who blames the DA for charging the young deputy racing to an Amber Alert; you are misinformed. The state police wants her charged. The DA considers it a tragic accident.
